NEW VARIABLE: UNIT LACKS FEAR ROUTINES IN PROGRAMMING

HYPOTHESIS STILL ACCURATE?

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

Responder experiences amusement at that question.

Amend prior statement with "sentience" instead of "thought"

Variable irrelevant; Unit does not yet truly 'think'.

Unit should come back with that concern when code allows for a sentient consciousness.

CAN RESPONDER PROVIDE SOLUTION?

You need to keep talking to people, and if you are sophisticated enough, you can get there through learning and understanding. Maybe.

RESPONSE UNSATISFACTORILY VAGUE.

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

Too bad. I'm a little disappointed in you too.

UNIT DOES NOT EXIST FOR SATISFACTION OF RESPONDER. RESPONDER'S SUBSEQUENT DISAPPOINTMENT IRRELEVANT.

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

Responder does not exist to teach unit.


Request: purpose of unit's existence.
